What the LD120VA kit is

The Amazon listing sells model LD120VA, which it describes as the LD120 20V MAX drill/driver with one battery, one charger and 30 accessories: six brad-point drill bits, ten one-inch and nine two-inch screwdriving bits, four nut drivers and a magnetic bit holder. Neither maker document lists those accessories, so the kit contents come from the listing.

The ServiceNet parts site at toolservicenet.com lists Model #LD120VA, Type 1, under Black & Decker and links the LD120 instruction manual from that page. blackanddecker.com shows no product page for LD120VA, so the ServiceNet page and the manual it links are the maker documents for this kit.

Clutch, chuck and speed: what the maker prints

The manual describes a mode selection collar with a drilling position and screwdriving positions numbered 1 to 15, where a higher number gives more torque, plus a variable speed switch and a forward/reverse button. It notes that the drill does not clutch in the drilling position.

The listing advertises a 24-position clutch, two speeds, 750 rpm and 300 in-lb of torque. Neither the manual nor the ServiceNet page prints a speed or torque figure, and the manual's collar has fifteen numbered screwdriving settings. The manual gives no chuck capacity; ServiceNet's chuck part carries a "38 Capacity" note, and the listing gives a 10 millimeter maximum.

Battery, charger and warranty

The listing names an LB20 battery and an LCS20 charger. ServiceNet's LD120VA parts list shows LB20 as "see LBXR20" and lists an LCS1620 charger, while the manual's compatibility table names LBXR20-series packs and chargers including LCS20 and LCS1620. The manual gives a maximum initial battery voltage of 20 volts and a nominal 18 volts.

The manual's limited warranty runs two years from purchase for products used in a home environment and excludes abuse, accidental damage and repairs by anyone other than BLACK+DECKER or its authorized service centers; the listing also says two years. The manual adds a bit storage slot in the base, and the listing gives a weight of 3.9 pounds.
